Today’s performance was pivotal.  This room was filled with professionals from music, theater and visual arts.  I took a chance and let myself play the entire Partita without modifying my impulse to align with what I think some of my colleagues might say – colleagues whose playing and musical knowledge I respect.  We all shared our experiences together, as one group. I was 100% candid with them, expressing my fears that I was too free, or that the musical line lacked coherence. To a person the confirmed that the performance landed 100%, emotionally, musically and spiritually.
